Tutorial: Azure Active Directory single sign-on (SSO) integration with People

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate People with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). When you integrate People with Azure AD, you can:

• Control in Azure AD who has access to People.
• Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to People with their Azure AD accounts.
• Manage your accounts in one central location - the Azure portal.

Prerequisites

To get started, you need the following items:

• An Azure AD subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can get a free account.
• People single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.

Scenario description

In this tutorial, you configure and test Azure AD SSO in a test environment.

• People supports SP initiated SSO
• People Mobile application can now be configured with Azure AD for enabling SSO. In this tutorial, you configure and test Azure AD SSO in a test environment.

Note

Identifier of this application is a fixed string value so only one instance can be configured in one tenant.

Add People from the gallery

To configure the integration of People into Azure AD, you need to add People from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.

1. Sign in to the Azure portal using either a work or school account, or a personal Microsoft account.

Configure and test Azure AD SSO for People

Configure and test Azure AD SSO with People using a test user called B.Simon. For SSO to work, you need to establish a link relationship between an Azure AD user and the related user in People.

To configure and test Azure AD SSO with People, perform the following steps:

1. Configure Azure AD SSO - to enable your users to use this feature.
   1. Create an Azure AD test user - to test Azure AD single sign-on with B.Simon.
   2. Assign the Azure AD test user - to enable B.Simon to use Azure AD single sign-on.
2. Configure People SSO - to configure the Single Sign-On settings on application side.
   1. Create People test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in People that is linked to the Azure AD representation of user.
3. Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.

Configure Azure AD SSO

Follow these steps to enable Azure AD SSO in the Azure portal.

1. In the Azure portal, on the People application integration page, find the Manage section and select Single sign-on.

2. On the Select a Single sign-on method page, select SAML.

4. On the Basic SAML Configuration section, enter the values for the following fields:

   a. In the Sign-on URL text box, type a URL using the following pattern: https://<company name>.peoplehr.net

   b. In the Identifier box, type the URL: https://www.peoplehr.com

   c. In the Reply URL text box, type a URL using the following pattern: https://<company name>.peoplehr.net/Pages/Saml/ConsumeAzureAD.aspx

   [!NOTE] These values are not real. Update these values with the actual Sign-On URL and Reply URL. Contact People Client support team to get these values. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section in the Azure portal.

5. On the Set up Single Sign-On with SAML page, in the SAML Signing Certificate section, find Federation Metadata XML and select Download to download the certificate and save it on your computer.

   

6. On the Set up People section, copy the appropriate URL(s) based on your requirement.
